Engineering Symmetry Breaking Interfaces by Nanoscale Structural-Energetics in Orthorhombic Perovskite Thin Films

Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Bernat Mundet

The atomic configuration of phases and their interfaces is fundamental to materials design and engineering. Here, we unveil a transition metal oxide interface, whose formation is driven by energetic influences─epitaxial tensile strain versus oxygen octahed ...

Topochemical Synthesis and Electronic Structure of High-Crystallinity Infinite-Layer Nickelates on an Orthorhombic Substrate

Bernat Mundet

Superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates has stirred much research interest, to which questions regarding the nature of superconductivity remain elusive. A critical leap forward to address these intricate questions is through the growth of high-cryst ...

Mapping orthorhombic domains with geometrical phase analysis in rare-earth nickelate heterostructures

Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Bernat Mundet, Jean-Marc Triscone

Most perovskite oxides belong to the Pbnm space group, composed of an anisotropic unit cell, A-site antipolar displacements, and oxygen octahedral tilts. Mapping the orientation of the orthorhombic unit cell in epitaxial heterostructures that consist of at ...

Structural study of nickelate based heterostructures

Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Chih-Ying Hsu, Bernat Mundet, Jean-Marc Triscone

Heterostructures consisting of SmNiO3 and NdNiO3 alternating layers with additional LaAlO3 spacer layers were grown and fully characterized by means of x-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and scanning transmission electron microscopy. A change in t ...

Metal-insulator transition in composition-tuned nickel oxide films

Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Bernat Mundet, Jean-Marc Triscone

Thin films of the solid solution Nd1-xLaxNiO3 are grown in order to study the expected 0 K phase transitions at a specific composition. We experimentally map out the structural, electronic and magnetic properties as a function of x and a discontinuous, pos ...

Competition between Carrier Injection and Structural Distortions in Electron-Doped Perovskite Nickelate Thin Films

Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Bernat Mundet, Jonathan Spring, Jean-Marc Triscone

The discovery of superconductivity in doped infinite-layer nickelate thin films has brought increased attention to the behavior of the doped perovskite phase. Despite this interest, the majority of existing studies pertain to hole-doped perovskite rare-ear ...

Electronic Coupling of Metal-to-Insulator Transitions in Nickelate-Based Heterostructures

Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Bernat Mundet, Jean-Marc Triscone

In rare earth nickelates, the metal-to-insulator transition observed as a function of temperature can be described using an electronic and a structural order parameter. The electronic one is linked to the electronic disproportionation observed below the tr ...

WILEY2023

Crossover between distinct symmetries in solid solutions of rare earth nickelates

Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Bernat Mundet, Jean-Marc Triscone

A strong coupling of the lattice to functional properties is observed in many transition metal oxide systems, such as the ABO(3) perovskites. In the quest for tailor-made materials, it is essential to be able to control the structural properties of the com ...

Near-Atomic-Scale Mapping of Electronic Phases in Rare Earth Nickelate Superlattices

Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Bernat Mundet, Jean-Marc Triscone

Nanoscale mapping of the distinct electronic phases characterizing the metal-insulator transition displayed by most of the rare-earth nickelate compounds is fundamental for discovering the true nature of this transition and the possible couplings that are ...
